I Guess I'm Riding a Bagger Now

But only when I want to. The Viking Bags 28-Liter Pantheon Saddlebags (not an affiliate link) come with "quick mount/release" hardware, so I can have them off in about 30 seconds (there's an internal lock so no one else can remove them, at least easily).

They arrived this morning, I installed them in 15 minutes or less (as advertised!), and took them on a quick test ride. No unseemly rattling, etc. I stopped mid-ride to snap a picture.




Pretty sweet. I think I'm going to like them, and they'll definitely make long-distance, multi-day trips more practical.
